Your Hair Does Not Hold Styles As It Used To

You might be finding that your familiar bouncy blow dry isn’t quite doing the job, or your freshly straightened hair seems to flick or frizz on the bottoms. It's more than likely this is down to split and frazzled ends, once the hair has broken and become damaged it's extremely hard to smooth, no matter how much product you use! Trimming the dead ends will get rid of the broken pieces and make the hair much easier to style.

Your Ends Feel Dry, Frizzy And Fuzzy

If the rest of your hair feels smooth and silky but your ends have a fuzzy, dry texture that refuses to behave, it is definitely time for a trim. At this point the very ends of your hair have split and died so they will not be able to repair with a miracle treatment, the only thing for it is to cut them off to allow the healthy hair above to thrive. By having regular trims every 8-12 weeks you can prevent the hair from getting to this stage, this is especially important if you bleach and heat style your hair as it will break faster.

Your Hair Has Lost Its Natural Curl

If you have naturally curly hair but your curls seem to have lost their bounce and shape it's likely the ends have split and need removing. This is a big tell-tale sign for curly-haired beauties to let them know it's time to visit the salon! After a healthy trim, the curls spring back into place feeling soft and silky once again.

Your Hair Is Very Knotty And Gets Matted Easily

You may be finding your once easy-to-comb locks are getting tangled and matted, especially on the ends. This can be uncomfortable and painful, and cause more damage to the hair as the tension caused by removing the knots can break the hair further. Usually, about 12-15 weeks after a haircut or straight after a harsh chemical service the hair will show signs of increased knottiness. Trimming the ends will remove the brittle, split portions and you should find the hair a lot easier to manage. This is also a common hint for parents that children are ready for their next haircut when it starts to become difficult to brush.

We have some advice to help you to prevent tangles and knots in the first place in our "how to take care of tangled hair" blog.

Colour Does Not Take To Your Hair

When the hair is extremely dry and broken it can actually repel colour and not allow it to penetrate into the hair shaft. You might find the top of the hair and mid-lengths take well but the ends have a faded, almost patchy appearance even though the same dye has been used throughout. Most stylists will recognise this before the colour goes ahead and either advise a trim before applying the dye or adjust the colour to suit the hair quality.

Your Hair Feels Flat And Lifeless

It is not only the ends that are affected when you need a cut, the layers around the crown and mid-lengths can become dead and dry meaning they will not retain the volume you're used to. Trimming off the dead ends will ensure smooth styling and return body to your hair. If you don’t have any layers in your hair and you want some more lift on the top, ask your stylists to add some to your next haircut. This will also help with curled and wavy styles to give your hair some more movement.

Your Hair Feels Like It Never Gets Longer

You haven’t cut your hair in 9 months so why hasn’t it grown? That is because the hair on the ends is dead and either needs to be cut off or has already snapped off leaving the ends feeling thin, brittle, and wispy. Having tiny trims every 10-12 weeks will remove the dying hair without taking away the growth to encourage a healthy growth cycle. It will also leave your hair feeling thicker and not so wispy at the bottom.

Conclusion:

Regular trims are essential for maintaining hair health and preventing breakage, even if you're trying to grow your hair longer. Look out for the signs that your hair needs a trim and make regular appointments to keep your hair healthy and manageable. By listening to your hair's needs and getting regular trims, you can ensure it stays healthy, voluminous, and beautiful!
